WHAT AMITO DO /?

The symptoms of Biliousness are un-
happily but too well known. They differ
ia different individuals to some extent: A
bilious man is seldom breakfast eater
Too frequently alas. he has an excellent
appetite for liquids but none for solids of
q morning. His tongue will hardly bear
inspection at any time; If 1t is not white
and furred. 1t is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out of
order and Diarrhea or Constipation may
be symptom or the two may alternate
There are often Hemorrhoids or even loss
of blood There may be giddiness and
often headache and acidity or flatulence
and tenderness in the pit of the omach.
To correct all this if not effect cure try

The justices of the supreme court OF
the United States now wear plain black
robes. In the beginning of the century
the robes had a scarlet facing, because
once Chief Justice John Jay borrowed the
robe of the chancellor of New York, which
was so faced, and all the other justices
followed the style. In 1903, however,
some one asserted that the red trimming
was too English, and it was discarded,
and the plain black has been used ever
since.-Chicago Herald.

Howell, quite out of town, almost: shs
was here to see me yesterday"
ooh, l see!" said he, not the most rel
evantlv. "And can you tell me how
to find Mrs. Howell's house? I sup
pose could go by and restore this
glove to its owner"
Maggie thought this unnecessary
trouble; but she gave the required
direction, and he went out, saying to
himself, "It can't be my Katy, of course;
but the glove shall 60 back to its
owner"
Mary and Lizzie went to church that
Sunday morning. Katy declared she
couldn't go having but one glove. I
stayed at home with her, and offered to
keep Mrs. Howells children for her,
add so persuaded that worthy woman
to attend worship with the girls.
And this is how it came about, that
while we were having frolic on the
carpet with the children in Mrs.
Howells room, we heard ring ct the
door; and Bridget having taking her
self off somewhere, there was no help
for it but for one of us to answer the
summons.
"You go, Katy" whispered l, in dis
may. 4 cannot appear"
Katy glanced serenely at her own
frizzy head in the looking glass, gave o
pull at her overskirt and a touch to her
collar, and opened the door.
Immediately afterwards was shocked
by hearing her utter genuine femin-
inc scream, and seeing her drop on the
floor; and that man, q perfect stranger
to me, gathered her up in his arms,
and began raving over her in manner
that astonished me. He called her CHS
darling" and CHS own Katy" and act
ually kissed her before l could reach
her.
was surprised at myself afterwards,
that hadn't ordered the gentlemen
out; hut it never occurred to me at the
time, and when Katy "came to-" and
sat up on the sofa and heard his
speeches, she seemed SO we'll pleased
that left them and took the children
up to our room, feeling bewildered all
over.
What shall I say further? Only that
Katy lives in the pretty house in the
town known as DR.. Craig's residence.
where we three factory girls" have a
home whenever we want it. And there
are no liquors found on her sideboard
nor at her table.
One day I heard Arthur say, "You
were silly child, Kate, to run away
from me. I should have given up the

But there would have been the

been such a temptation. We are safer

Causes of Sudden Deaths.

The number of sudden deaths is
large, perhaps increasingly SO, though
the popular impression may be false,
since the daily press and the telegraph
have made aneighborhood of the whole
land.
One source of sudden deaths is ACCT
dents, but many events pass under tho
head of accidents which might have
been foreseen and guarded against.
Americans, particularly, are apt to take
ing, their clothing. their building, in
crossing railway tracks. and in many
other ways.
How careless we are No staging
need ever fall, and it would not if
proper care were taken in the choice Of
material and in construction. Think
of the frightful list of deaths resulting
from the use Of oil poured upon a
lighted fire to cause it to kindle more
quickly!
With many other causes of sudden
death our own personal ills seem at
first sight to have almost nothing to
do. There may be fatal break in
the physical machinery at point
where weakness has not been sus-
pected. The heart. perhaps, becomes
unnaturally enlarged, or its tough,
muscular fiber turns to fat, and sud
denly there is mortal rupture.
Or the enfeebled heart fails to send
blood to the brain, and the man drops
dead in the street, or at his business,
or, more fortunately, perhaps, in the
midst of his family.
In other cases there may be de-
generation of the cerebral artery, and
high living, or glass Of wine, or an
excitement of passion, may arouse the
heart to send the blood to the brain
with a force too great for the weakened
arterial walls to withstand. These
walls may give way at one or more
points, the out-poured blood presses
against the nerve centers, and thus is
cut loft the necessary supply of nerve
force to vital organs. The man falls
unconscious, and within o few DAYS
dies.
We have not space to speak of other
causes somewhat similar, but in most
of them the weakness OF the link at
which the chain breaks is due to over
exertion, to too continuous brain work,
to excuses in eating and drinking, to
passion, to worry. The weak spot
being ascertained, the fatal result NAV
be prevented for years, perhaps in
definitely. by carefully-regulated life.

owned Holstein bull worth $500,
which was little inclined to be cross.

and the farmer, intending to brighten

Driving Away Mosquitoes.

Various substances are used to drive

the use of such protective unguents.
In India, mosquitoes are smoke out of

assets, including investments for sink

banking accounts, amounting to S45,
1891, leaving the net debt on that
date at 1925, OPS. 1872. In case of union,
